Greetings!

• About the course :-
  
  
  

M.Sc. in Medical Radio Imaging is a 2- year postgraduate course that studies the application of technology for viewing, analyzing, and interpreting such a non-uniformly composed object as the human body.

The course curriculum covers subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology, Radiation Physics, Imaging Physics and Radiographic Positioning, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Medicine, Orthopedics, ENT, special radiographic procedures, new imaging modalities and recent advancements.

The program imparts advanced learning to eligible students in radiographic techniques of X-ray, MRI and ultrasonography, involving papers on the principles of Radiographic Exposure, Nuclear Medicine Imaging Techniques, Biostatistics and Radiation Evaluation, and Protection in Diagnostic Radiology.

Radiographer or Radiologic Technologist works under the guidance/supervision of a qualified Radiologist. Under certain circumstances, depending upon their qualification, they also perform radiotherapy to cure patients.

• Applications and Scope :-

Medical Radio Imaging finds application in X-ray, Fluoroscopy, Ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, Angiography and PET technologies to diagnose diseases. Medical imaging is a powerful tool for diagnoses and treatment of diseases.

The primary duties of a Radiographer include communicating with the consulting doctor, carrying out radiography tests recommended by the Radiologist, 1communicating with, and guiding the patient (before, during and after scan), operating diagnostic equipment, taking care of pre, intra and post scan procedures (safety and medical procedures), analyzing scan results (depending upon qualification) and treating patients using radiotherapy (depending upon qualification).

• Career Prospects :-

Successful postgraduates of the course are lucratively hired in a wide range of related areas such as hospitals/clinics, corporate houses, software development teams (for medical imaging systems), teaching and research. There is a constant concern regarding excessive exposure to radiation, but it is closely monitored and checked from time-to-time.

Such postgraduates are hired in capacities such as X-Ray Technicians, Scientific Assistants, Clinic Assistants, etc.

• Expected Salary :-
• The average course fee in India ranges between INR 10,000 and 2 lacs. The average annual salary offered to such postgraduates in India lies between INR 4 and 5 lacs.
